“I cant believe this is happening” I scream pacing by the fire place

“well get use to it because its not going away” my sister Stacey smirked irritated

“don’t talk like that” I barked at her, making her dig her head deeper into her jacket making an igloo out of it.

“ You no she is right” this from Alex who was in the chair next to Stacey. I just gave him a warning look and looked up at James for help, he just shrugged at me, pushed off the mantel and walked into the kitchen.. I just threw my hands up in defeat and walked to my room where my best friend Amber was crying her eyes out because she just found out that her parents where killed last night and there was no possible way for her to be there with them.

Me, myself couldn’t believe they where dead, they where just as much my parents as my real ones were. The sad part was I couldn’t morn there death like Amber was, I wanted so badly to cry on my bed and have someone hold me telling me everything was going to be alright for a change.

I walked over to the bed where Amber was lying, her chest still heaving in sobs. She had been like this ever since she found out only stopping to sleep. I placed my arm around her pulling her into a hug. I rocked her back and fourth running my fingers threw her matted hair.

“ It will be alright” I cooed into her ear. She pulled away from me her big swollen brown eyes looking at me “ how did you get over them, your parents I mean” she asked hopeful.

“ I didn’t” was all I said. She gave me a funny look and started to cry again throwing her face back into the pillow. I just rubbed her back and slid off the bed.

I walked back into our temporary living room, to see the boys playing cards in the kitchen and Stacey asleep on the couch. I walked over to the window and leaned on the edge to look out. It looked so eary outside without a soul moving around. If I haven’t lived in this town my whole life I would have mistaken it for a ghost town.

This is the Untied States of America we weren’t aloud to get invaded, it just wasn’t right. I laid my head on my hands and closed my eyes for a little. I could hear bombs going off in the distance. When would this all be over with? I asked myself. I opened my eyes again and continued to look out the window.

I could see off in the distance the smoke from the bomb. By the looks of it, they had blown up the over pass leading in and out of town. I felt someone walk up behind me so I turned to see Alex coming to the window too.

“Who are they blowing up this time?” he asked leaning down next to me. I just looked back out the window and before I could say anything else I spotted seven figures walking down the road, all looked to be caring some type of gun, and to top it all off they where closely followed by a tank. I managed a look at Alex and squeaked “Us”
